My bite alignment is a little unequal, would a dental crown make my jaw look worse?
Q.
I am 23 years old and my bite alignment is a little unequal, though it doesn’t look odd. I had an injury some months back and my front teeth had got damaged. I was planning for capping of my front teeth. But, my concern is that will the capping/crowning make my jaw bulge out as the cap is placed above the tooth, so since my upper and lower jaw is little disinclined, the capped tooth would look odd and more bulging?

Thank you for your questions. It not really possible for me to be able to give you accurate answers to your questions without first thoroughly examining you and your dentition first. If the crown/caps are made to a very high aesthetic standard then it’s unlikely for them to make your jaw ‘bulge’.
The results will come down to the skill of the dentist and dental ceramist who makes the crowns and of course how complex or straight forward your situation may be.
